 As I promised, we installed the new interface of http://www.picollator.com with the option to see who resembles to your search query in results.

1. Point at any picture in the results.

2. You will see the pop-up window.

3. Move the mouse in the area of any identified face inside your picture.  All corresponding faces in the image from results will be highlighted by the white square. See the example below:

Therefore they come to our index with more probability because the index is not quite big yet. Celebrity matching websites work upon the prepared database consisting of celebrity photos only.
